Any chance of saving humanity by developing a cure for Cordyceps has been completely blown. Joel’s decision to save Ellie from her life-ending surgery a, instead of saving thousands.
His actions were highly questionable, but he understood that his impulsive decision had something to do with his past, when he lost his daughter, which is the place Ellie currently occupies in his heart. to make the audience sympathize with him.
